Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most

Once, I was a sentimental thing

Threw my heart away each spring

Now, a spring romance doesn't stand a chance

Promised my first dance to Winter

All I've got to show's a splinter for my little flame

Spring this year has got me feeling like a horse that never left the past

I lie in my room, staring up at the ceiling

Spring can really hang you up the most

Morning's kiss wakes trees and flowers

And to them, I'd like to drink a toast

I stroll in the park just to kill lonely hours

Spring can really hang you up the most

All afternoon, the birds tweet-a-tweet

I know the tune, this is love, this is it

I heard it before, and I know the score

And I've decided that Spring is a bore

Love seemed sure around the New Year

Now it's April, love is just a ghost

Spring arrived on time, but what became of you, dear?

Spring can really hang you up the most

Spring is here, there's no mistaking

Robin's building nests from coast to coast

My heart tries to sing, so they won't hear it breakin'

Spring can really hang you up the most

College boys are writing sonnets

In the tender passion, they're engrossed

But you'd find me write on the shelf

Just like last year's Easter bonnets

Spring can really hang you up the most

Love came my way, I hoped it would last

We had our date, now it's all in the past

Spring came along, a season of song

Full of sweet promise, but something went wrong

Doctors once prescribed a tonic

Sulfur and molesses was the dose

It didn't help a bit, my condition must be chronic

Spring can really hang you up the most

I'm all alone, the party's over

Old man Winter was a gracious host

But if you keep prayin' for snow to hide the clover

Spring can really hang you up the most
